R-EFRIGEEATING AJRRANGEIEENT FOR DRINKS AND FOOD.

Application filed. November 16, 1923.

To (/U M7 017), it may concern:

Be it known that Armani Bum, a subject of the. King of Sweden, residing, at Stockholm, Skeppargatan 14, Sweden, has

5 invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerating Arrangen'ients for Drinks and Food, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to devices for refrigerating drink and food, and more particularly to a refrigerating-arrangeincnt for beerand winebottles, and the like. The invention consists in providing means wherein the bottle or vessel to be cooled is placed into an as close as possible fitting receptacle of sheet-metal or clay, or the like, and in which refrigerant is caused to circulate in. a long spiral stream way around the liquid, or food contained in the said bottle or receptacle. v

An example of applying the invention is illustrated in the drawing, in which:

Figure l is a longitudinal section,

Figure 2 a front elevation, and

Figure 3 a plan.

In Figures 1 and 2 a container 1 made of sheet metal, clay or other desirable material is shown and 2 indicates a bottle con :10 taining the liquid to be refrigerated. The container is provided with the internal spiral ribs 3. The inserted or hinged lid 4 is dished downwardly towards the inside of the container and provided with an aper ture 5 for passage of the dripping water. Pieces of ice may be laid into the hollow of the lid, so that the ice flows slowly off around the bottle in a long continuous stream. One or more small apertures 7 are provided at the lower part of the receptac e for partly discharging the refrigerating liquid, while one or more larger openings Serial No. 675,229.

8 are provided at the upper part for over How of the water.

The ice water or refrigerant is thereby set in motionin a contlnuous spiral stream and the refrigerating or cooling effected greatly enhanced.

Claims:

1. A bottle cooler comprising a container the wall thereof.

A bottle cooler e-omprisin a container having an aperture in the lower portion thereof and provided with a spiral rib on its inner wall, said container adapted to receive a bottle in close contact with said rib, and a perforated ice tray supported in the top of the container whereby water from the ice drips upon the bottle and is directed downwardly around the bottle in a spiral path discharging from said lower aperture.

3. The combination with a bottle, of a container therefor, said container being provided with a spiral rib on its inner wall. in close contact with the wall of the bottle, and an ice tray supported by the container above the bottle whereby water from the.

ice drips upon the bottle and is directed by the rib downwardly vin a spiral paths around the bottle in contact with the walls thereof.
